She lives in London with two trouble cats and her daughter. Review An addictive, fascinating and compelling page-turner. With an original take on the many worlds theory. * Guardian *A high-concept page-turner * The Herald *Beukes puts cerebral propositions into breakneck thrillers * The Spectator *Excellent * Scotland on Sunday *You can tell Beukes is having an absolute blast putting words on the page. Her fun is evident in the big, bloody action sequences; in the squirmy, almost retro grotesqueness of the dreamworm. * The New York Times *Bridge is a step into the offbeat, an imaginative stew of ingredients: neuroscience and parasitology, musical theory and Haitian Voudou. * Elle *Complex, challenging, gripping and thought-provoking. A morally thorny tale without clear-cut heroes or villains. Beukes does a skilful job of balancing desperate but very relatable hope. * SFX *A blend of sci-fi and thriller . . . I can highly recommend * Alison Flood, New Scientist *Lauren Beukes multiverse is thrilling-balancing madness, horror, and a big, bleeding, beating heart that reminds us that we are all connected in the end * Grady Hendrix *I absolutely loved it. This fantastic high-wire act of a novel, accelerating to a heart-stopping climax, is at once a cosmic narrative on a grand scale and a deeply intimate human story. Bravo! * Catriona Ward, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street *Bridge spiders out into alternate universes, alternate selves, yet manages to be very much about us and our fractured now. Its a humane, thought-provoking puzzle box, and a wildly entertaining novel * Paul Tremblay, bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers Club *Vast in scope and heart, Bridge is both a thrilling exploration of the known universe and an intimate portrayal of a daughters yearning for her mother. Lauren Beukes has crafted a suspenseful, deeply immersive odyssey that will make you consider the alternate possibilities inside us all. A perfect summer read. * Katie Gutierrez, author of More Than Youll Ever Know *Lauren Beukes takes a story filled with psychedelic drugs, parallel worlds, and neuroscience and makes it also about a complex mother-daughter relationship, full of darkness, light, and longing. This is fun and insane and very moving * Mariana Enriquez, author of Our Share of Night *What if our dreams are twisted-up memories? What if the Mandela Effect isnt an effect at all? Somewhere between The Lathe of Heaven and Everything Everywhere All at Once is Lauren Beukes Bridge: its not just reality thats multifold, its identity. Bridge challenges our sense of reality, chips away at our conception of the self, and shoves us down a slide of our own paranoia. But, its Lauren Beukes-this is what she does, isnt it? * Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians *Thrilling, complex, and pulse-pounding. Beukes handles the balance between action and emotion brilliantly, this is speculative fiction of the highest calibre * Big Issue *Praise for Lauren Beukes * : *A stand-out chase thriller.
